Satellite map overlay option - now here?
-
Is there a Satellite map overlay option in Windy.com?
-
no one got an answer?

@athertop There is no satellite overlay in Windy now. But it is in our "todo list".

@TZ That's great news! Being able to pick a spot to fly and seeing it visually on the map has great benefits. Cheers for the reply.

I just realised that there is a satellite map option now - accessible under Settings, Advanced. Did this just get added? I would have thought it would have been hailed as a new feature as per the isobars feature, but seen no word of it in the publicity at all.
We do need access to this feature though on the main screen - rather than having to find it under Settings - can this be considered for an enhancement please?

@athertop
the satellite map you found under "settings", is a static background image.
TZ is talking about a satellite overlay with realtime images
updated every e.g. 15 min (like the wx radar overlay).
Sat images may be obtained from http://en.sat24.com/en/Next step must include lightning data

http://www.lightningmaps.orgWe seem to be at crossed lines then - my OP here was not about satellite weather info overlay (such as radar info), but more specifically about satellite "map" overlay - which is exactly what you get using that Settings panel option - just a pity its not more accessible from the main screen. Other Map overlay options would also be advantageous like open cycle map etc
Thanks, Paul
